Must be a sign of age when war in the middle east provokes not outrage but rather the idle thought that it’s probably worth investing in oil company shares.
Oh, and the less idle thought that I hope Gaston Hochar’s estate is okay. Life without Chateau Musar? Unthinkable.
Sorry, but with Israel bombing Lebanon back to the later bronze age (a good age for the Lebanese), why is it the public of the west who has to pay for the ensuing humanitarian crisis?
Fuck that. Israel’s doing it, with US aid. One of those two should pay.
I’ll happily pay to supply arms, but not to cover up the results of someone’s barbarity.
I notice the passport site has been re-named identitycards.gov.uk. And I thought they were stil talking about it.
Glad to see, after tackling 100-year old crime, the Police are tackling some other difficult targets.
Yes, those toddler muggers are a real problem.
(but, seriously, get the State out of my fucking life please. Now).
By way of DK (who I’ve started visiting again now I have time tactually read what he’s writing), an alternative ending to Doctor WHo
A better alternative would have been for that gurning idiot to die in agony of course.
I did not, repeat not make a page with Keane on it. Or anywhere near it. I now have to hope that no-one is looking over my shoulder next time I log in.
Will the surfeit of spam bring about the collapse of the blogosphere? Answers in a pre-recognised address comment please.
Wonder if, if they’d shouted ‘che galida manina‘ while doing the mugging, Puccini would have been to blame?
It’s a bit earlier than usual this year, but all the news services are carrying stories about the identity of Jack t’Ripper finally being solved. One would think, what with international terrorism, knife crime and various other little problems going on, that the Scotland Yard announcement might not have been such a great idea.
The Swanson Marginalia at the heart of this have been known about for years. They’re in Begg (who broadly favours the Swanson suspect, Kosminski), they’re in Sugden, they’re well known on the most authoritative online source, the Casebook.
So why the hoopla? Something nasty coming out of the woodpile again? Or just that the Met are so incapable of solving modern crime, they’re desperate to trumpet the fact they can solve something from 1888?
(not that they have of course, they want to look at William Bury)
If only we did this with everything that irritated us…
I don’t actually understand why anyone would buy a Peugeot (yes, now I have passed my test I am officially ‘interested’ in cars) anyway, but seems the logical way to respond.
Perhaps we could respond the same way to GNER, Orange, MBNA, in fact any and all banks, NPower, the TV licensing people.
Lots of little cubes then.
Euan Ferguson in the Observer having a snap at bloggers.
standing like a dumb know-nothing head-lolling droolpot, might as well start my own blog
How right he is. Why would anyone start a blog these days?
I don’t know very much.
No, don’t stop me…
Oh, you weren’t.
But I know two things. Call them lessons from history.
1) England don’t win on penalties. Ever. And therefore should never play for them.
2) No one, but no one, invades Afghanistan and wins. Just not possible. Just don’t even think about it. You might look like you’ve won, but give it a few months, and you’re trapped in the mountains while some christian-god-forsaken-goat eater runs rings round you. How the Ruskies must be laughing now.
